General Marking Principles for Higher Art and Design
This information is provided to help you understand the general principles you must apply when marking candidate responses to questions in this Paper. These principles must be read in conjunction with the detailed marking instructions, which identify the key features required in candidate responses.
(a) Marks for each candidate response must always be assigned in line with these General
Marking Principles and the Detailed Marking Instructions for this assessment.
(b) Marking should always be positive. This means that, for each candidate response, marks
are accumulated for the demonstration of relevant skills, knowledge and understanding:
they are not deducted from a maximum on the basis of errors or omissions.
(c) It is possible that some candidates could have studied artists and designers that are not
known to the Marker. In such cases, Markers are expected to research the
artists/designers before marking the response.
(d) The questions are designed to allow as broad a range of responses as possible, taking
account of the varied scope for learning about artists’ and designers’ work and practice
across the Course. Markers should consider the extent to which the candidate’s response
answers the specifics of the question and to what extent it demonstrates knowledge and
understanding of art and design content and context.
(e) In questions 1 and 2 (Section 1 and Section 2), no marks should be awarded for simply
repeating information from the legend. If candidates develop this information in their
answer, credit can be given for that development.
(f)
(g)
(h)
All questions require candidates to respond in an extended response format. Mark
allocations may be fully accessed whether responses are provided in continuous prose,
linked statements or a series of developed points.
Points do not need to be made in any particular order, and candidates may provide a
number of developed points or a smaller number of points in depth, or a combination of
these.
Marks are awarded only for a valid response to the question asked. For example, in
response to questions that ask candidates to:
Describe, they must provide a statement or structure of characteristics and/or
features.
Explain, they must relate cause and effect and/or make relationships between things
clear.
Discuss, they must communicate ideas and information on a subject.
Page 3
Below are examples of how some of the available marks could be allocated in different
parts of the 20 mark questions:
SECTION 1
QUESTION 3
Select one or more art work(s) that you have studied.
(a) Discuss the artist’s(s’) use of techniques and/or composition in the art work(s).
(10 marks)
This is a sample excerpt from a candidate’s full response. The candidate discussed a
number of art works in the full response to part (a).
Artists often represent the world around them in a non-naturalistic way. For example,
Peploe’s brushstrokes in ‘Tulips and Fruit’ are bold and this makes the image less detailed
and less photographically real. (1 mark) The brushstrokes in the painting don’t show fine
detail but they contribute to the way Peploe breaks up the image into colour and shape
more dramatically. (1 mark) Peploe also used this approach in other paintings, such as
‘Still Life, Black Bottle’ where the very bold application of highlights shows the form of
the bottle. (1 mark) The composition of ‘Tulips and Fruit’ allows the coloured flowers to
stand out strongly against contrasting areas of background. (1 mark)

(Listing further
examples which make
the same point would
not attract more
marks.)
The composition of ‘Tulips and Fruit’ allows the coloured
flowers to stand out strongly against contrasting areas of
background.
1 mark for a point of
information
(composition).

SECTION 2
QUESTION 7
(b) Explain the influence of social, cultural and/or other factors on any of the design
work(s) discussed in part (a). (10 marks)
The candidate’s part (a) response discussed Peter Behrens ‘Flying Lady’ lamp along
with another designer’s work. This is a sample excerpt from a full candidate response
to part (b).
Peter Behrens was influenced by the organic, flowing forms and decorative details of the
Art Nouveau style. This can be seen in his ‘Flying Lady’ table lamp (1 mark). Art Nouveau
was a popular style in Europe at this time and he wanted to make this design look modern
and stylish. That is why it is based on a stylised female form (1 mark). The shade of this
table lamp is developed from the natural looking wings of the figure and uses coloured
glass inserts which are both decorative and functional (1 mark). This elaborate design
could only be produced because he used modern production methods together with hand-
crafted techniques (1 mark). Overall, this lamp design reflected his belief that improving
the design of everyday objects would enrich people’s lives. (1 mark).
Peter Behrens was influenced by the organic, flowing

(i)
In the Expressive Art Studies questions, where the term ‘artist’ is used it should be
interpreted in its broadest sense, covering painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture,
installation, animation, film and video etc. It is acceptable for candidates to refer to
groups of artists rather than individuals, eg art movements or artists who work in
pairs/groups such as Surrealism, the Boyle family.
In the Design Studies questions, the term ‘designer’ should also be inclusive of any form
of design. It is acceptable for candidates to refer to design movements, pairs/groups of
designers such as Art Deco, Alessi or Timorous Beasties or collections of designs
(particularly in fashion/textiles answers) such as The Pirate Collection by Westwood.

Question 1 10 Candidates will respond to either Question
1 or Question 2.
Question 1 and Question 2 are designed to
assess candidates’ ability to respond
critically to a selected image using
descriptive visual language.
Candidate responses can be credited in a number of ways. All points must relate to the question posed. In the first part of Question 1 candidates are asked to describe the artist’s use of media and colour. 1 mark should be awarded for any valid point of description of these features, up to a maximum of 6 marks. A point of description is a statement or structure of characteristics and/or features. Where candidates only refer to either media or colour in their response, a maximum of 4 marks should be awarded out of the available 6 marks.
Description of the artist’s use of media and colour in this work might include the following points: Use of media
thick paint, applied with impasto effects
visible brushstrokes and possible use of a palette knife
rough textured paint effects — paint dragged, scumbled, layer over layer
outlines of objects visible — although roughly painted, lines remain and give structure to the objects
paint applied in blocks to depict the geometric houses and curving shapes of the hills
Any other valid points describing the artist’s use of media in this work. Use of colour
muted colour palette, shades of pastel yellows, blues, and pinks — mainly tints and shades of primary colours, but also soft secondary and tertiary colours
darker shades of colour on tree branches help them to stand out, against pale landscape
balance of warm and cold colours
darker colours muted by addition of lighter colours scumbled on top Any other valid points describing the artist’s use of colour in this work.

Section 1 Max
marks Expected response Additional guidance
In the second part of the question, candidates are asked to explain how the combined use of media and colour contributes to the overall visual impact of this work. There are 4 marks available for this part of the question. 1 mark should be awarded for each valid point of explanation up to a maximum of 4 marks. A point of explanation will relate cause and effect, and/or make relationships between things clear.
Explanation of ways in which the combined use of media and colour contribute to the overall visual impact of this work might include the following points:
the pastel colour and scumbled application of paint help to capture the frosty weather and clear winter light
the choice and use of pastel colours for the flat, blocked areas of colour in the background add to the sense of emptiness
broad brushstrokes and pale, subdued colours suggest the peace and tranquillity of the scene
the scumbled paint creates a dappled effect of sunlight across the road and the pastel colours lift the mood of the painting
Any other valid points of explanation. Note that for a mark to be awarded, the point of explanation must relate to ways in which the combined use of media and colour contribute to the overall visual impact of this work.
Question 2 10 Candidates will respond to either Question
1 or Question 2.
Question 1 and Question 2 are designed to
assess candidates’ ability to respond
critically to a selected image using visual
language.
Candidate responses can be credited in a number of ways. All points must relate to the question posed. In the first part of Question 2 candidates are asked to describe the artist’s use of form and choice of media.
Description of the artist’s use of form and choice of media in this work might include the following points: Use of form
stereotypical, life-like form of two middle-aged tourists — squat, overweight, cameras round necks, large shopping bags weighing them down, unflattering depiction of art imitating life
realistic skin tones, facial hair and real accessories
the pose of the figures, unaware that they are being watched
the body language between the two figures
Any other valid points describing the artist’s use of form in this work. Choice of media
choice of real clothing and accessories which could be worn by people on holiday

clothing — contrasting stripes and gaudy flower patterns, white socks, baseball caps
autobody filler and fibreglass have been used to create the impression of real skin texture, muscles, colour, blemishes, nails
real hair or wigs have been used, including to depict facial hair and stubble
choice of non-traditional sculptural materials Any other valid points describing the artist’s use of media in this work.
Explanation of ways in which the combined use of form and media contribute to the overall visual impact of the work might include the following points:
The specific use of bright, vibrant, patterns and colours and the type of clothing and accessories indicates that the season is summer, and that the figures are tourists.
The artist has created a ‘snapshot’ of ordinary life, as shown by the use of everyday objects and accessories in the work and the use of form. This is seen in the slumped stance of the woman, giving the impression that she is weighed down by all of her bags and emphasising the feeling of world weariness.
The naturalistic form and use/choice of realistic media have the effect of turning ‘ordinary’ people into ‘art’.
Any other valid points of explanation. Note that for a mark to be awarded, the point of explanation must relate to ways in which the combined use of form and choice of media contribute to the overall visual impact of this work.
